A video that shows what Schizophrenia is like..for the person with it.
This is a video that is supposed to show someone with no mental illness,or different DX's what schizophrenia is like during a psychotic episode.I think they are doing a "generic" psychotic episode on the video for educational purposes.
http://www.janssen.com/mindstorm_video.html
While watching the video I noticed that I experience similar phenomena,in my life to someone with schizophrenia.I have even been misdiagnosed with schizophrenia,and the doses of anti-psychotics they gave me was enough to put a hose in a stupor.The medications did not help me. I still "heard voices" . Later after many medication failures and failed diagnosis I learned the stuff I hear is because I have many selves co- existing inside this one shared body,I sometimes hear the different people 'inside' talking with me,each other or whatever.Sometimes I am present to hear it or not,and it does not upset me like it did,because I know who and what they are.I have some internal communication within sometimes not. It can get hellish inside here when conflicts arise,and I feel punches on the body,and there are wars and pain..and flashbacks,nightmares and blackouts fugues etc..It has distinct differences from the psychosis,but it also shares some of the symptoms too.
So,anyone with schizophrenia, IYO is this video like a psychotic episode like someone with schizophrenia experiences?
Is it accurate for what it is imitating considering the medium? Or is it not accurate ,or are they doing a cheesy job of it?
I just found it fascinating how this take on the inner "experience" of schizophrenia, actually overlaps with my own experiences with c-PTSD and being a multiple/DID.I was kinda surprised. However symptoms like the TV "reading my thoughts" or talking to ME,personally, isn't there .The the voices I hear are INSIDE of my skull,but when I trigger I have visual,and other sensations that are not there,I hear abusers taunting and threatening me ,my body gets frozen, shrinks,shuts down ,or I get cuts,forget to eat or drink or the insomnia gets really bad and my dreams intrude upon wakefulness.Sometimes time becomes messed up as in I think it's years ago or I feel it is a different season like summer and when I open the curtain I see snow...and wonder why.
So,anyone else here have DID? If you are ok with it, do check out the video,yourselves. what I am curious about is,does it seem similar to your experiences within, too? or not? I want to hear people's thoughts on this and how they perceive the video in relation to their own experiences with their own mental states.

The Odin2005 primitive's there, but franksolich finds the Odin2005 primitive pretty boring, and so didn't bring the Odin2005 primitive over here.

Ooops, ooops, ooops.
I just noticed the subway cat built that campfire last January.
It's not a recent one.
Sorry about that, folks.
But sometimes one gets so excited finding something, he overlooks details.
Carry on; the subway cat's apparently still in that big building with small rooms with soft walls.
<<red-faced.

rofl i love that the voices in her head cannot be because shes psycho but are because she has other lives trapped inside her. Seems to be classic nutjob to not realise they are nuts and think that they are in contact with alien intelligence. Thanks frank for this one as it must go down in history as an instant classic.

I'm wondering if UGP isn't as dead as bobbolink. She lives near the catbox squatter, and he lurks here every single day, so:
Yo, Vinny! Check out the cat, will ya?"

But Christians are crazy?
I truly hope that she's changed docs since this was posted.
